Roasted Red Pepper and White Bean Soup
"This is a SIMPLE SOUP, completely dependent on the quality of the broth." That's what the cookbook says and I couldn't agree more. I followed the recipe, but then again, I didn't follow it. The original recipe called for canned ingredients. I had to take the home cooked approach. For you, I'll write the original recipe, THEN I'll tell you what I did. You pick the one that fits your needs... More...

Another example of the beautiful and scrumptious bread recipes from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I can't stop the wonderful madness of baking bread. It's a part of me now; I've stopped buying store bought bread all together. When Deli-Style Rye Bread is compared to the recipe for Bran Enriched White Bread, the only difference is the list of ingredients. The instructions are the same... More...

Completely worth your time to make at home! Simple vegetable broth made in an hour, and serves you several times a week. You know, there was a time when store bought broths and bouillon cubes were ONLY purchased when the cook was out of homemade broth or stock. Nowadays, we don't hesitate to buy a carton or can of broth, and making it from scratch is the rare occasion. Don't misunderstand me,... More...

Real quick, I just wanted to share with y'all my favorite time saver in the kitchen. In my home, we gobble up cheeses of various flavors. Most of the time I need it shredded. For a while, I bought the pre-shredded packages out of pure convenience. And just so you know, long ago, I did the math. An 8 ounce block of cheddar is the same price as an 8 ounce bag of shredded cheddar. So, why am I bothering... More...

For the past four years, I've attended my fair share of little kid birthday parties. I've observed and experienced that no matter how delicious the cake tastes or doesn't taste, it's the icing that gets all the attention. Party after party, I watch kids ONLY eat the frosting off their cupcakes. Leaving behind a half eaten, crumbly lump of sweet bread. Now, I'm just as much a kid as the next kid. ... More...

Have you ever cooked a pot roast in a slow cooker and forgotten to throw in the vegetables? I do it EVERY TIME! I've done it for so long that I have evolved to cooking the carrots in the microwave in the meat broth. And no one, not family, not other good cooks, not me, can tell the quickly cooked carrots from the slow cooked carrots. HERE'S WHAT I DO Peel and slice... More...

I've been watching so much Barefoot Contessa on TV. I decided to copy her roasted chicken technique. It's so simple, I had to make it. I admit it! I get in cooking routines and forget to try something new. Now, this 'technique' is not new to the cooking world, it's just new to me and maybe you, too. It's new for me, because I usually cook my chicken in a stock pot with veggies and herbs, so I... More...

For some time now, I've wanted to make really good French toast. I've eaten plenty of not so good French toast from restaurants. I've eaten so much that I thought I really didn't like it at all. This morning my life is turned around. I feel a new spring in my step. My kids and husband look at me with a brighter sparkle in their eyes. Their smiles and yummy sounds filled my heart while they... More...
